Martinez projects for the Mets offense (suddenly we don't necessarily need Starling Marte to return all the way to form), he's not the most automatic fit for the roster. And hey, designated hitters seldom are. He's nominally an outfielder, but the only guy currently in the outfield contingent that has an option available is D.J. Stewart. That should be an easy enough transaction, but that makes the Mets suddenly way too righthanded. You can knock out Zach Short, the righthanded half of the Mets reserve infield partnership, but neither he nor Joey Wendle sport any options. So eyes naturally drift toward guys who do have options, and that means Mark Vientos. Replacing a righthanded bat with a righthanded bat feels natural enough, but that leaves the Mets pretty scarce at third, left to platoon Short and Wendle until things sort out differently, and that's no way to boost the offense. So for now, we're going with the orignal bump — DJ gives way to JD, but Brett Baty (whose bat has been coming on) displaces Vientos on the opening day roster and in the opening day lineup. Tough break for Mark. He still has opportunities going forward, but missing out on the ego boost of the ceremonial honor of the OD roster is not to be taken lightly. Or, they could toss a reliever (Bickford?) overboard and the Vientos and Stewart cases get new life. Almost needless to say is that the dream ends here for Ji-Man Choi and Luke Voit, and we wouldn't be surprised to see one or both of them celebrate the end of camp by asking for and receiving a release.

Yeah, going through shots of him for this post, he kind of struck me as having a Seavery/Clemensy build. Strong legs that might take some punishment off the arm, but he might have to work to keep the weight off.

Phun Fact: The Mets were about to go into a new season with their biggest winter acquisition being ... Harrison Bader? I imagine that, had the offseason so concluded, it would have been their least brand-namey offseason since ... when? I guess the 2019-2020 offseason. Chasen Shreve, Rick Porcello, Michael Wacha, and Jake Marisnick weren't really names that lit up Times Square.

Paying up from 2034-2038. That's some deferrin'.

Whoah!

Mike Vasil? YEAH, MIKE VASIL! Listen, I didn't create ZiPS. To me, ZiPS are what you tie your trash bags with, or those lines that you go flying through the forest on at a real cool birthday party when you're 10 years old, except you didn't get to do it, because you're mother had a cousin who really busted his ass on it. And while I'm still kind of bitter, that's not a thing for today. For today, you just need to know that this crazy ZiPS projection tool has me down for the third-most WAR among Mets pitchers for 2024. ME! Mets Roster Central has me ranked the #2 starter in Binghamton, but ZiPSiddydoodah has me producing more as a Met this year than the likes of MLB veteran season-opening rotation cogs such as Adrian Houser, Luis Severino, and José Quintana!! That's bullish! And maybe you're bullish too if you'd seen me take a no-hitter into the ninth with Syracuse last season. I generate a hard sinker with my lower half and I get better as seasons progress. I may start at Bingo or at Syracuse, but I'm coming fast. What happens when I get there ... well, ZiPS has its theory, and I'm betting that you have yours.

It sure would. But it even if true, it wouldn't take much for the interpreter to come around to the position that it's more in his interest to take the bullet for his guy with the faith that his guy will take care of him and his down the road. A perhaps-not-very-kind part of me wants this to explode into a disaster just to get MLB and organized gambling out of the same bed.

I'm really interested if one or both Vientos and/or Baty see any time in the outfield. I wonder if Mendoza, coming in from outside the system, doesn't see that as an option, despite it having well been on the table in the past. We're down to the last week of spring training, and so it's as good a time as any to let guys on the bubble show what they can do at a secondary or tertiary position, but McNeil clearly hasn't seen the outfield yet either. It'll be a lot easier to carry both if one of them can show even a little utility out there. .252 / .329 / .471 // .800 with 24 homers and 67 RBI.

He has a chance for a fresh start, and if he rebounds, what happened in Korea might stay in Korea. But I confess I'm rooting against the Dodgers. Why would we have ever wanted Tom Glavine? I refuse to believe that happened.

While the two scenarios Braden mapped out are pretty much the main two I would suspect, his questions at the end seem a little obtuse. Also, holy crap! I'm getting my analysis from Dallas Braden! Does Placido Polanco have a hot take?

And that's it. A 10–5 final score. Mets are a force. A force for good.

It looks like Greg's updates on changes to the stadium experience deserve a thread.

Now catching for the Tigers: Dillon Dingler. Dillon Dingler!!

RJ Petit, who is definitely NOT petit (6'8", 300), came in to blow away Harrison Bader with the bases loaded. The Mets still had an out left though, and Zack Short came up and hit a fly that was definitely NOT short, for a slam of grand variety. Mets rool!! Tigers drool!!

Two-run single for Álvarez! Mets lead! Non-homer offense rules!

Five runs allowed in one inning in his debut. It's easy to credit it in part ot facing a stacked Padre lineup in Korea, but hey, I'm glad that wasn't for us.

Michael Tonkin showing good side-to-side movement. The tiger face in the Tiger logo always feels like it's too many generations of copies removed from the original. Either that, or it feels like the different colors are printed slightly out of register with each other. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it's certainly distincitive. https://seeklogo.com/images/D/detroit-tigers-logo-8DB6243B47-seeklogo.com.png>

Two-run homer for Baty!! Mets pull within 4–3!

Mets get one back on a Harrison Bader homer. Detroit quickly cancels that with a Riley Green homer. The score is 3–1 on four solo homers. Baseball in 2024.

Colt Keith just ripped one out to give the Tiggs a 2-0 lead. The Detroit booth sounds like a harder-drinking version of Gary Cohen and Ron Darling.

Hey, kids! There's a game going on. Jeff McNeil is not only back in the lineup, but he's batting leadoff. Mets also giving Ji-Man Choi another look. Detroit is filling out their card with our old friends Mark Canha and Javier Baez and a whole bunch of last-name-first-name guys.

Funny!

It's me. It's Baty. It's me. It's Baty. But Baty somehow gets just a little more ink. I get it. He's got first-round pedigree. He's a blond Texan. He's got that lefty swing. But I'm a second-rounder — you know, like George Brett and Mike Schmidt. Guys like that. And accepting that being a medium-complected guy from Florida makes me somehow less-than is just surrendering to racist bullshit. I was born in Connecticut, man. If that's not American enough for you, maybe you and your buddy Stephen Miller need to look in the mirror. The fact is that I've been around in this organization longer than Baty, and I've hit at every level of the minors. And oh, yeah, I'm (a month) younger. I get it. I was never gonna stick at shortstop, but let me ask you: who's the real defensive question mark — the guy who stoops down from a higher point in the defensive spectrum to play third, or the guy who was never going to be any higher? I ask you to consider that. Some prospect rankers have been real bullish on me all along, and some have totally ignored me, while everyone has had to at least acknowledge Mr. First-Round-Guy. Whatever. I didn't care. (Who does these rankings? Stephen Miller?) I just let my bat do the talking. And it's talked. It's told you what I can do. But it can't tell the future. Only you can. I'm not asking you to tell the whole story, mind you. Just 2024. What's in store ... for me?

I would certainly see the three of them as redundant, but some managers like to carry multiple reserve infielders. In fact, I tend to think that managers who were infielders like to carry a lot of infielders. (Willie Randolph, for instance, tended to have three reserve infielders which forced him to use them in the outfield.) I sometimes suspect that managers subconsciously manage in a way that justifies their own playing careers.
